US Ambassador To EU Rejects Any Carbon Caps W/O China, India, Then Brags Re. US Emissions Technology

[hatrack]

BRUSSELS - The United States will not join an international regime curbing emissions blamed for global warming until it also applied to China and India, the US ambassador to the European Union said on Wednesday.

"Rather than shooting at each other, the United States and Europe should be joining forces to engage China," Ambassador C. Boyden Gray told Reuters in an interview ahead of an April 30 US-EU summit. "There will be no comprehensive global warming legislation coming out of the United States, whoever you have as president from whatever party, that does not include limits or a programme for China, India and the rest of the developing world."

He cast doubt on whether the 27-nation EU would be able to achieve ambitious emissions reductions targets it adopted last month and said the US approach of focusing on technological solutions to climate change was just as valid.

"I don't think we need to take a back seat to anybody in terms of what we are doing now and what we intend to achieve in the future," Gray said.

2. Ambassadors like this we don't need

I've called both of my Senators and my Congressman.

"There will be no comprehensive global warming legislation coming out of the United States, whoever you have as president from whatever party, that does not include limits or a programme for China, India and the rest of the developing world."

Who made this guy the spokesman for all future US presidents?
